You are likely better off to use fully-built and generally
correctly-configured R binary for Ubuntu off the CRAN mirrors. Read

   https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README.html

I keep the line

   deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu cosmic-cran35/

in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cran.list and am on 18.10; the README explains how
to adjust for the other variants.

There is an entire mailing list dedicated to questions should you have any:
